The day before leaving Oz Castle, Freitrick and Cardina were ransomed, and Freitrick left a message.

"You will be unlucky one day, and Frederick will pull you up from the mire."

Cardinai also said to Bran, "When I return your help, I will take it back!"

Riding out to win, Bran was excited. I didn't feel at ease with these two sentences.

On the way back, Bran and Carol chatted all the way back to the manor.

"Your Highness, if Frederick is a nobleman, he should be in the limelight in the future.

"I also think that Freiti also said that he had a sister "Otya", with the face of an angel...... If it's really a big noble, it's really suitable to be my wife. ”

The land on the return journey is all friendly territory, and the passage is unimpeded.

When he went out for a few months and returned to the familiar smell of the earth, Bran grew up in this manor, this is his, even if he does return to Venice in the future, this land, he will not give it to others.

He will always be the "direct domain" of the Chaman family.

On the day he returned to the manor, not counting the mercenaries, the population of the manor had exceeded one hundred and fifty people.

Extending from the central houses of the two grandparents, a row of low-rise houses was built for these new populations to live in.

When Bran entered the manor, the soldiers had all been disbanded, and only a few horsemen were not well guarded, and two young girls approached boldly holding hands.

It is the two younger sisters of Lola.

Although they have lost their family fiefdoms, their aristocratic education will not disappear, and they are bolder and more confident than the girls of the manor.

More than ten years of pampered life also make their appearance not too bad.

Although he is only eleven years old, he has reached the age of the first love.

The two women held hands and approached Bran, who was riding a horse, and congratulated the handsome aristocratic young man on his triumphant return.

Bran nodded and smiled, but had no intention of chatting, only said yes, and the girls left disappointed.

At the gate of the mansion, Ma Lian was supporting her grandfather, and the servants who were not working came out to greet her.

Today, the mansion still displays the Chaman heraldic flag and the personal monarch's coat of arms used by his grandfather Howard, just like a small high court palace.

"The Chaman family is proud of you." Howard opened his arms.

"I still need to improve, grandfather."

After the hug.

"Marlene, this is for you."

Bran conjured two flowers out of thin air, which he had just picked, but said that they were famous flowers brought back from the north, which made Marlene happy.

But when Marlene saw Carol's trauma as she approached, she covered her mouth in surprise, and that night, she made a decision!

……

The last snow in the late winter of A.E. 1314 was a little colder than last year.

An Aegean port with a stable level. Several large ships are preparing to set sail.

More than half a year has passed since the Meath City competition, and the "Lion Mental Check" is preparing to return home on a cargo ship, and he has changed back into the dark clothes that are popular in the East.

On this trip, he succeeded in meeting with the Holy Father and a number of cardinals to negotiate the expansion of the Holy See's support for the East, and returned satisfied.

His father was only 40 years old, but after he contracted leprosy, it became more and more severe in the past few years, and he was wrapped in a white cloth and could no longer see anyone.

Rumors spread across the kingdom, and the border with the Abbasids was on fire.

Richard wanted to make peace with the Gentiles in order for the kingdom to succeed in the East, reduce conflicts with heretics, and want to make peace with the Gentiles, but the conservative aristocracy was not happy, and after decades of strife, too many members of these families died, and it was not a few empty words that could erase the hatred.

Standing on the boat, Richard retrieved the Pope's handwritten letter, smiled with satisfaction, and it was not important whether the handwriting was neat or not, but the text.

Written in it were words of praise from Luyo II, and his mission to protect the kingdom, and with this letter, it was inconvenient for the nobles, who thought of themselves very highly, to oppose their own regency.

In fact, what Richard did not know was that the cardinals had argued with the Pope that the Leper's peaceful approach to the land was seriously contrary to the will of Rome.

"The Abbasids are not as good as before, and if they don't attack at this time, will they wait for these Gentiles to recover and get their hands on the holy city?"

Statements like this fill my ears.

Luyo II himself agreed with the cardinals, but he thought that Richard was still young and impulsive, not as difficult as the leper king, and that by arching the new king, Richard owed the Holy See a favor, and at the same time, Luyo II also "married" a noble woman of devout faith and married Richard.

In the future, this woman will be the princess, and she will give birth to a crown prince with Roman roots.

Coupled with the expansion of the Knights' garrison in the East, in a few years, the king of Jerusalem will be his pawn.

If Richard is disobedient in the future, he will be forced to abdicate.

What the Holy See thinks, Richard does not know.

But he understands that there is no gratuitous kindness, and he will repay as much as the Holy See gives him.

The ship was far from the harbor, and there was a large ship in the opposite direction of Richard, with a shiny black hull and long pointed ramming horns, and the sailors on the deck were also armed with them, this was a warship.

They prepared to cross Constantine and enter the "Black Sea" after crossing Constantine.

Ottoman, Byzantine, steppe tribes...... The Black Sea forces are mixed.

Everyone wants to be the sole owner of this fertile land.

On this large ship, there was a woman dressed in men's clothing, and she had her hair cut off, and she looked heroic.

The woman is slender, about 1.73 meters. is much more than the average woman of the same tribe.

She has two names, one tribal and one Byzantine.

"Byzantine name" was chosen by her mother, and it is a noble and elegant name with the meaning of flowers and angels, reminding her of the softness and delicacy that she should maintain as a woman.

Since her mother left, no one has called her that except her father. Gradually, my father forgot the name, and in the grasslands surrounded by tigers and wolves, women had to live more like men in order to lead the tribe.

The name of the tribe is "Timur (king)", which is the name of a man, full of his father's hope that his sick and weak self can grow up smoothly and not lose to anyone.

Timur's skin is a mixture of butter and milk, exuding exoticism and seduction, making people want to kiss each other.

When she was less than ten years old, people began to sing about her beauty, and the main reason was that her eyes were purple!

"Purple pupils" are extremely rare, and the legendary "Roman god - Diocletian" is purple pupils.

The entire Eastern European and Black Sea generation is very obsessed with purple pupils.

With these eyes, the steppe tribes and the neighboring nobles, and even the grand dukes and chieftains of the distant Rus', once came to Timur's father Khan to propose marriage.

It's ugly, but it's enough to have these eyes. They could have hoped that Timur would bring them luck and even give birth to an heir with purple eyes, but her father Khan never agreed.

Timur's tribe was regarded as one of the "Tatar tribes".

When Diocletian first saw this tribe enter the borders of Eastern Europe in his later years, he did not know where they came from or where they were going, because they were good at riding and shooting, and when they charged, the horses' hooves were running and the queues were neat, and they were extremely terrifying.
